I agree with SoftwareBear. If you don't already have to complete an annual return, you will need to apply for it. The return can be completed online after the end of the tax year.
As this will be income on top of your PAYE earnings, please assume higher rate on all of it and put it by until you complete the return. After the first year, they will make allowance for the extra income so that you will have to make a payment on account for the next year of 50% of the additional tax.
Have you notified your current employer? There could well be a requirement in your contract of employment.
There are also maximum hours under the Working Time Directive.

Remember, if you do a Self Assessment tax form and you are self employed you can make all kinds of deductions against your SE income, like, petrol when running your 'business', stationery, stamps, use of a room in your house as an office, percentage of car running costs, work clothes if appropriate, these are just a few. This way you can reduce your extra income and keep under the higher income bracket.

You'll need to do a tax return and declare the extra income ... any income you take from the self employed job will need to be added up as your total income and then pay separately the extra tax that wasn't collected through PAYE.
